Inspections done by humans, enhanced by AI
From roof to rims, bumper to bumper, every vehicle goes through comprehensive, AI-enhanced inspections to power in-depth vehicle condition reports you can trust.
Transparent wholesale inspections
Cosmetic checks, test drives and mechanical evaluations performed by experienced inspectors — so you get the real condition, not a biased report.
Detailed condition reports
25+ photos, “Warning-Only” views, component level details, and complimentary AutoCheck® reports give you the full story upfront, so you avoid costly misses.
Tech-enhanced accuracy
AI-highlighted damage detection, engine audio analysis and condition report scores to help you protect your margins on every buy.
OPENLANE Predictive Pricing
Accurate, VIN specific pricing guidance with 30, 60 and 90 outlooks give you clearer estimates and tighter price ranges.
Buy with confidence, we’ve got you covered
You can buy with peace of mind knowing your purchase is backed by the strong arbitration policy for dealers.
More protection than just “AS-IS”
Only 7% of units are listed AS-IS, meaning almost all our inventory is backed by a best-in-class arb experience.
As Described Guarantee
Our buyer protection means you know the car’s condition matches what the condition report claims down to the component level.
Extended Guarantee
Need more time to be sure? Receive up to 14 calendar days from purchase or delivery so you can make sure the car is right for you.
